A member asked:
If u don't have aneurysm and a 14mm abdominal aorta u have thinner wall than 20mm healthy aorta and therefore lower tolerance for pressure? sorry
A doctor has provided 1 answer
14 mm: I've never heard of a 14 mm aorta rupturing. Wall stress is related to diameter. Unless you have some very rare condition that you haven't told us about or a family history of everyone dying of ruptured aortas, my inclination is to say you're at lower than average risk.
